Review and specifications
2026 Ford Mustang
Changes for the redesigned 2024 Mustang centered around freshening the appearance, boosting the convenience technology, and edging up horsepower. There are three core versions: The EcoBoost with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 315 hp, the GT with a 5.0-liter V8 that produces 480 hp, and an all-new Dark Horse, a higher-performance V8 model with 500 hp. The EcoBoost and GT are available as both coupes and convertibles, with a Premium trim and Performance Package option to add upgrades. The cabin centers around a digital instrument panel and infotainment screen, available with a single pane of glass connecting the two. There is much customization available via the screens, allowing the driver to impact appearance and performance. Standard Ford Co-Pilot360 includes AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, BSW, and RCTW.

Brand context
About Ford
<p>Ford shifted away from cars this decade, focusing on SUVs and pickup trucks, with the Mustang as the lone exception. Fords are seldom leaders in their segments based on CR’s tests and surveys, but the small Maverick and full-sized F-150 trucks are notable standouts. Some other models score well enough to earn our recommendation, such as the Escape Hybrid and Bronco Sport. The Mustang Mach-E EV is Ford's highest-scoring current model. Overall, Ford's new car reliability is above average, but it varies, so used-car buyers should be mindful to check our ratings. </p><p><br/></p>
